Supreme Court Blocks JeffCo Election Certification
Last we left the situation with the Jefferson County Commission, we had one Commissioner for District 1 (George Bowman) appointed by Gov. Bob Riley and another (William Bell) elected on Feb. 5 with a pending lawsuit challenging Riley’s authority to fill the vacant spot by appointment.
Since then, Bowman has said he will resign upon certification of the election results (scheduled for today), but - not so fast - the state Supreme Court has blocked certification of the results because of an unrelated lawsuit that has nothing to do with the issue of whether Riley has authority to appoint Bowman.
